Hello This Is Muneeb am Indian but was living in Dubai UAE since last 9 years my and am working for one of the German medical laser manufacturing company, and company wanted to started the branch office in Indonesia and they offered me this task I readily agreed and my previous experience was Area Manger for Dubai branch where I was covering middle east and now my responsibilities will be Area Manager GCC + Director Indonesia branch so I accepted the offer, being into sales I feel it was a challenging task for me, and now am in Jakarta we have seen the office place in Jalan Paneran Antasari, and for my stay am in Kemang vista residence which is 20min drive from my place to office.Very soon am planning to bring my family and am feeling alone I couldn’t find a single Indian around me since last 4 days am here I would like you to tell me which will be the best place for me to stay with our Indian community and can be with our culture n style and as I realized the traffic is very horrible so please let me know the clear information keeping this also in mind how will it be and which will be the best location most important to be with our community.Thanks n RegardsMMK

Hi Muneeb,

How are you? Hope you're liking Jakarta. my husband works here and I moved here a couple of years ago. A huge expatriate Indian community lives in Pondo Kindah and Permata Hijau as these two areas are very close to Jakarta International school (JIS). Lots to do in these residential areas. Kemang is a nice area too but because the roads are so narrow the traffic is far worse in Kemg as compared to these areas.

U can also consider Simprug (very huge indian community) and Senayan area. Hope this helps.

Pia

Hi,

I heard Permata Hijau is 1500-1800 for a 2 BHK and Pondok kindah should be around 2000. P'Indah becomes expensive because its because the American school is in P'indah.

Senayan area should be 1500-1800 for a two BHK. I kind of don't know how much Simprug should be. I don't think a 2 BHK should cost more than this. Cheera

Forgive the slight stereotype here please but I'm still trying to find a place that does half reasonable Indian food without charging the earth for it.I'm guessing where ever there's an Indian community, they'll be restaurants to service their wants.Suggestions welcome - I love Indian (especially North Indian) food.

Thanks @ English Teacher@) Mas Fred Hope you will get the information and same i can@Thecinnamonjourney, am very open to be friendship with any nice human being, i would like you to tell us what is the reason of your to shift to India and which city means do you have a job there or what so that we can guide you fully.GOd Bless All

I'm going to wander to one of those restaurants the next time I'm in the city. I know where pasar festival is so I'll probably end up there.

There is a vegetarian Indian restaurant at Thamrin next to Dunkin Doughnuts which was ok. The Curry house at Pasar Festival looks good and I have heard good things about it.There is a Pakistani restaurant near chitos I have seen. I still enjoy the curries at Eastern Promise. There is a better one opposite EP again I have been told good things but yet to go in.

Hi,I have recently moved to Jakarta couple of days ago. The struggle I am going through now is finding a vegetarian restaurant. I am staying near Senopati area.

Any Indian/vegetarian places nearby?

Can you also suggest a good area to stay or serviced apartment in Jakarta South in Pejatan Barat or Mampang area? what should be the cost?

Thank you all.

Why you must make payments to your suppliers from BCA and Mandiri and can not do it from the bank in your home country ??

If you live and work in Indonesia and do business here you need a work permit, that's very simple. If you visit here for short period of time for business purpose make sure you have the right visa

Ubud, Bali

Overheard by my wife yesterday at the Pasar Ubud (Ubud market):

"Yes, I am from India."

"Oh, wow, are you in the show Mahabharata?"

Right now I would say that Indians are the most beloved foreign visitors to both Bali and Java. It's amazing and the local broadcast TV stations are full of most anything Bollywood.
